I lost a little weight! It's a Christmas Miracle!

....well less of a miracle and maybe thanks to the medicine. But Dad just sprung on us that he has a dance thing tomorrow and it's kinda a semi fancy dress. There will be a sit down dinner and dancing and an exhibition. I tried on a skirt I wore to a wedding a few months ago, a skirt that I only wore thanks to control top underwear AND control top pantyhose (and I still tore one seam...luckily it's a guazy two layer thing so you can't tell).

It fits! Not perfectly, it's a little snug around my thighs when I sit down, but I don't have to mash myself into this thing.

askye, that's really good news. I hope you have a good time at the dance.

brenda, congratulations on the new job! I just got caught up in Natter and saw the nifty climbing pictures. Wow! That looks like a fun vacation.

Yay askye!!

Whoo. Little tipsy - just had dinner with Suzi & K-Bug at my friend's wine bar. Another friend sat with us the entire time & monopolized the conversation - at least he's hilarious.

Woot! Just realized I can get a free 2-month Trial of XBox Live, so I don't need to pay to join the Halo 2 Frag-Fest next week...

(I'm begrudgingly trying to save money for my upcoming move, thanks to my landlord's asshat of a son!)

Hopefully I'll get the XBox comm headset I requested for Christmas. Then I can listen to Pete singing "Killing, Killing, Killing..." And respond with cries of despair and anguish.

do you have to have an Xbox360?

Hey juliana. The bug and I are home. I made her drive from BART. I figured she was more sober than me. Had fun, even with entertaining friend...we will have to find alternate talky time.

eta - there was an earthquake in Berkeley while we were in the bar. I thought I felt something, but neither you or K-Bug commented when it felt like someone stumbled into the back of our booth, so I figured I'd had enough wine. Nope. Earthquake.

do you have to have an Xbox360?

Nope. Pete doesn't have a 360, just a regular Xbox.

do you have to have an Xbox360?

Halo 2 is an original Xbox title. Both original & 360s can play against each other. SExM; double check whatever 2 month trial you have, because they have expiry dates.

ION, I'm listening to the UK's Virgin Radio which is only an hour away from performing a live pantomime featuring Brian Blessed and David tennant (of Doctor Who fame). Should be a great laugh.

Woohooo I made it to the end! I can post now!

Ya just don't wanna skim the Bitches. You miss so much cool stuff!

KristinT- Frag warm-up will start at our house in the afternoon (2-3ish) and frag fest will likely commence around 5.

Thank goodness! A Xmas Miracle! Cuz I can't take the whole day off. Stupid educational touring show. Pfft! Plus I'll still need to worky on stupider CHRISTMAS CAROL (hate that show!!! no offense ND)

So, traffic gawds being nice, I should make it by the 5 ish start time, but will probably miss the bulk of the warm up session. Geez, I hope I don't pull a hammy without proper warm up.

Omnis, send your gamertag to ND and to my profile addy.
